Gina joins the Adventure Sports Podcast from the UK today to share her experiences with endurance cycle racing.  Gina was the female soloist winner of Revolve 24 in 2016.  To accomplish this feat, she bicycled 497 km with nearly 29,000 feet of elevation rise in only 24 hours!  As amazing as this is, I think it is her backstory and wonderful personality that really make this show a must listen.  And what's next?  She is now training for the most challenging bike race in the world, The Race Across America.   Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
